The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) reported that the blaze was brought under control by firefighters from the Circle Fire Station, who responded to the scene at 4:01am. Upon arrival, the firefighting crew found the metal containers engulfed in flames, and they worked diligently to contain the blaze.

The GNFS confirmed that all five containers were completely destroyed by the fire, while two adjoining containers were saved by the heroic actions of the firefighters. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported in the incident. The cause of the fire remains a mystery, and the GNFS is actively investigating the incident to determine what triggered the blaze.
